The new Partners include Sarah Douglas, Diane Cooper and Kirsty O’Donnell in Glasgow with Sam Cowie in Inverness.

In addition, six Associates and 11 Senior Solicitors were promoted this month, recognising excellence at each of Digby Brown’s seven offices.

“By investing in the development of our staff – while recognising the quality of their work, results and client service – it ensures Digby Brown continues to lead the field of Scottish personal injury litigation.”
